5 tips to reinvent your career at any stage of life
5 tips to reinvent your career at any stage of life5 tips to reinvent your career at any stage of lifeI recently made the choice to quit my corporate job. After putting up with the same negativity and toxic work environment for years, I decided it was time to go. I could feel this coming for weeks, and I had mentally prepared myself with the departure conversation. When I made the exit it was on my terms and based on my principles. I finally felt I was in charge of my destiny. I basked in this moment for oh about, four days. And then arrived the holy crap moment of what now?I realized I wasnt sure of what I actually wanted to do next. Being free from that job was what I had been waiting for, but that was now topped with a big red bow called fear. Despite my outward courage and good intentions, I was terrified at the core. I knew I could survive financially for a while, but didnt want to sit still at the same time. I had to take a deep breath several actually and try and enjoy the fact I now had the space to evaluate what was going to fulfill me personally and professionally.In this self -reflection period I realized I could take this time to reinvent myself. I had known I wanted to reinvent myself for some time the thought of leaving corporate America and doing my own thing felt like a dream for years. I had this conversation with friends and colleagues over lunch or cocktails, kind of fantasizing about the what-ifs, but now I really had the opportunity.If you are in this position now, or know you will be in the near future, take a deep breath, and consider the gift of freedom, but remove the big red bow of fear. You can find a path that is right for you, it will just take time and effort. herbeie are five tips to help you along as you reinvent yourself1. Skillset transferConsider your history and think about what are you good at? Maybe it is accounting or sales, but know what your niche is and at what skill you are the most confident. Stick with that skill and your transition to renewal will provide confidence and give you a foundation.Steve Adams, an Austin-based insurance franchise owner realized his abilities were best used when it came to customer service During my previous career in big corporate America, I was great at building and keeping relationships. I knew that these skills would transfer when I was ready to open my own business, and it is has worked well for me.Adams found that focusing on his strengths led him to finding a business where he found fulfillment and personal growth.2. Focus on our coreAlthough your years may have been spent in marketing, has it been satisfying? Meaning, did you love the actual task of being a marketer, or perhaps it was the ability to tap into your creative senses that brought gratification. The point is here is to connect with what inspires you at the core of your being. Mary Griffitts, an attorney from Dallas has owned her jury consulting business for 15 years. Along the way she realized a passion for screenwriting, producing and acting. It meant enough to her to write a screenplay, audition for roles, and start her own production company - all the while keeping her day job. zu sich creative core has led her to this second career. Her advice to others is, Follow your intuition, do what you love, and you will make your heart sing.3. Realize your prioritiesMake a list to identify what your top priorities are in the next phase of your life. Write down what you really want. Is it having a certain job? Is it having financial stability? Is it having more time with your family? This will help you vet what is really important to you. From here you can shape the center of your reinvention plans around your wants and needs. Stan Dietz, a Portland-based marketing executive said that he made this list and it has helped him create certain financial, career and family goals for himself.Dietz said he then took it a step further, I asked myself several questions. As I look at the l arger question of what do I want to do? The answer is in general terms of the impact I want to achieve I want to have a positive impact on others around me. I also want to continue to be successful. Success, in this case, relates to my cornerstone of the ability to take care of my family.Not only was his process revealing, but he was also able to generate new ideas and interests.4. Practice patience with yourselfThis is the hard part. Learning to have patience with you. If you dont have the answers to your big questions immediately, sit with it. This did not occur to me initially, as I am one impatient person. A long time friend of mine had to bring it to my attention. Her words were, Be patient with yourself.She was right. By practicing patience I took immense pressure off myself. Having patience also freed up my mind and more ideas surfaced as a result.5. Be list-lessDont rely on your list. What is a list you may ask? All too often we portray ourselves to one another as a list. W e list our accomplishments, degrees, employers, and a bunch of other bullshit jargon that people tune out. We think this act of listing will help others understand who we are and validate our existence. Newsflash, no one gives a shit. Everyone has a list. Let go of the list, especially while reinventing yourself. This will get you closer to renewal and realizing your true definition.Its not that you were an executive of a company for 12 years, and were promoted to VP, it is that you led people and helped them achieve their goals that is your specialty. How you impact others is what really defines you and is how you make your mark. Explore this thought for your reinvention and you will thrive.Look, reinvention is scary. It is uncomfortable and is full of the unknown. We all want answers to our big questions and to quell any uncertainty immediately. Take some space, be thoughtful and patient with yourself. Remember that this is a process and appreciate this time of exploration.Holly Caplan is a workplace issues expert, award-winning manager and author of Surviving the D-ck Clique A Girls Guide to Surviving the Male Dominated Corporate World.

4 Things Never to Do When Starting a New Job as the Boss - The Muse
4 Things Never to Do When Starting a New Job as the Boss - The Muse4 Things Never to Do When Starting a New Job as the BossSo you just landed a leadership role at a new company. Congratulations Going in, you know therell be a learning curve when it comes to handling your new responsibilities. But theres also the people factor to consider. Being the anfhrer of a completely new kollektiv also means influencing a group of employees you dont know very well to work together (and with you) toward a common goal. Nerve-racking, yes. But not impossible Even seasoned leaders make mistakes when managing a new team. Here are four common ones to avoid if you want to make your transition as smooth as possible for both you and your direct reports. Mistake 1 Acting Before UnderstandingIf you think the first thing you need to do when joining a new team is to start making changes- slow down. Yes, part of your role is to help things zulauf better, and you were most likely hired to bring in some new per spectives and fix some outdated or dysfunctional strategies. But ignoring input from experienced team members- particularly those who have been at the company for a while- wont win you any fans. Instead, youll signal to your team that youre only interested in running a one-person show. And it will leave you vulnerable to making bad decisions that couldve been avoided had you gotten some context.This isnt to say that you need to form a whole committee to make decisions on every little thing. Youre the boss, after all, and sometimes its your duty to make the final call. But strive to implement changes (especially big ones) in baby steps and over time. Be receptive to (and ask for) feedback from your team before moving forward, and communicate your intentions clearly and proactively when you do.Mistake 2 Constantly Talking About the Old JobDo you find yourself saying all too frequently, At my old job, we? Maybe youre trying to prove yourself by bringing up your old wins. Or you may jus t feel comfortable referring back to a time when everything didnt feel so foreign. (Being the new kid on the block isnt easy.)Heres the thing Your current team will quickly tune you out if youre constantly talking about how things were done at your previous company. They want to see that youre able (and willing) to adapt to a new environment, and that you can competently lead and work with their unique skill sets.Yes, you achieved great things in your last role. But dont get caught living in the past- its time to focus on creating new wins with what your new team has to offer. Mistake 3 Hiding in Your OfficeClosing your office door or hiding behind your monitor can give off the appearance that youre not interested in being there for your employees.You may think, Ive told my team they can come to me any time with questions. But as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and it can be intimidating for employees to knock on a new boss door. Therell be times when youll need (o r want) to close the door, and thats OK- but make sure this doesnt create a barrier between you and your team.Make a conscious effort to show your employees that theyre welcome to come seek guidance or share concerns. Literally keeping your door open helps, so does providing office hours or popping your head out every few hours or so to see how everyones doing. If you work in an open office, try to avoid wearing headphones all day, and when you can, sit near your team. You can also schedule weekly touch-base meetings with your direct reports so you have dedicated face time with them on a regular basis- and so that they know they will always have the opportunity to discuss something with you. Mistake 4 Believing You Dont Need to Know the Details of Your Employees WorkSome people think that the role of a leader is to just tell others what to do and set expectations. But theres more to it than that. You cant hold employees, especially new direct reports, accountable if you dont fully g rasp what their roles entail and how they approach their work. While you dont need to know all of the nitty gritty details of their responsibilities, you want to do more than just care that tasks are getting done. Understanding the how of operations and the whys behind how your employees tackle them will make both you and your team function better. Youll be able to better manage them knowing their strengths, weaknesses, and preferred forms of communication, and theyll feel more comfortable around you and motivated to do great work with the knowledge that youre invested in their success.Take the time when youre just starting out to talk to each employee individually to learn about what they do, what their current challenges are, and how their tasks fit into team or company goals. You can even ask the following questions in your next one-on-oneWhat challenges are you facing that are making you less productive?Whats missing from the team that will help make everyones life easier? How d o you like to receive constructive feedback?What are you hoping to learn from me that will support you in your role? What do you enjoy the most about your work? Or you can have them fill out this user manual so you have all the information you need about their working style.Mistakes are going to happen when youre starting a new job, whether youre a manager or not, so dont be too hard on yourself if you dont get things right the first time. Even just reading this article means you care deeply about being a good boss to your new team- and thats a great place to be inMost importantly, make sure you enjoy this new beginning- because its one more phase in your career that will help you grow and become the kind of leader you want to be.

What if you are the one whos wrong Solve conflicts without casualties
What if you are the one whos wrong Solve conflicts without casualtiesWhat if you are the one whos wrong Solve conflicts without casualtiesMy specialty is being right when other people are wrong. George Bernard ShawWe are always wrong with being right.The human mind is both brilliant and pathetic we are continually making new scientific advances, but continue being error-prone (and ignorant about the fact).Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreYou probably think you know much more than you actually do just like me and everyone else.We often assume we know how things work but are clueless. We believe we make logical decisions, yet facts dont change our minds. Even when we realize we are wrong, we keep denying it.Winning an argument matters more than learning something new we love being right.What if we accept we are always wrong? And stop pretending we know everything. This mindset can end infallibility battles. Hear me out before you think Im wrong ??Why always being right can be wrongWrong does bedrngnislage cease to be wrong because the majority share in it. ? Leo TolstoyFacts dont change our minds.Various experiments over the years have proved over and over that, once we form an opinion, its almost impossible for us to change our mind even when people tell us the data we used welches false.Researchers at Stanford selected a group of students half were in favor of capital punishment the other half were against it. Both groups of students were presented with two different studies one provided data in support of the death penalty the other presented facts that questioned it.Those students who favored capital punishment found the pro-deterrence study highly credible and the other unconvincing. The other group reacted precisely in the opposite way. At the end of the experiment, not only none of the students changed their minds, but both groups were more passionate about their original position.Our brain manipulates our perception we are immune to facts.Confirmation Bias is the tendency we have to embrace information that supports our beliefs and to reject the one that jeopardizes them.As magician Penn Jillette says, If theres something you really want to believe, thats what you should question the most.There are many types of faulty thinking. We tend to think we are smarter than we actually are. And underestimate any logic that doesnt match ours.Error Blindness is a term coined by self-defined wrongologist Kathryn Schulz. She believes that we dont have an internal cue to know we are wrong about something until its too late.As she explains in this halbstarker Talk, this delusional mindset goes through three different phases.First, we are wrong but dont realize it yet. We feel over-confident because we assume we own the truth. Thus, failing to double check facts. Second, we acknowledge we are wrong either by introspection or because new evidenc e is introduced. We feel vulnerable and under siege. Lastly, we become defensive and feel under attack. We end denying being wrong.We prefer to stand our ground even if, deep inside, we know we are wrong.In the book, The Knowledge Illusion, cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach argue that we survive and thrive despite our mental shortcomings the key to our intelligence lies in other peoples knowledge, not ours.The authors cite a Yale study in which undergraduate students had to rate their understanding of everyday products such as toilets, zippers, etc. everyone gives themselves a generous score. Then, they were also asked to describe, step-by-step, how those devices work. When requested to rate themselves again, the self-assessments dropped. The experience revealed to the students their own ignorance. Zippers and toilets, it seems, are more complicated than most of us think.The same happened with an experiment performed by Rebecca Lawson, a psychologist at the Univ ersity of Liverpool. She showed a group of students a schematic drawing of a bicycle that was missing several parts. When asked where the chain or the pedals should go, most students were confident everyone thought they knew the right answer.However, as you can see in the drawings below, most participants were clueless about how bikes work.Sloman and Fernbach call this effect the illusion of explanatory depth we all believe we know way more than we actually do.The problem is not our ignorance, but that we are used to hiding it. We burn bridges and create friction with others just to make a point. We let our ego take over our lives the need to be right initiates pointless battles.We love to win, not to learnOur capacity for reason has more to do with winning arguments than with thinking straight. Scientists call this phenomenon motivated reasoning. Our unconscious motivations both desires and fears shape the way we gesangssolist events and information.As Eckhart Tolle said Needing to be right is a form of violence.In this powerful TEDx talk, Julia Galef, co-founder of the Center for Applied Rationality, explains why some information or ideas feel like our allies we want them to win. On the other hand, we think opposing ideas or concepts are our enemies we want to shoot them down.Galef named it the soldier mindset.It happens all the time at work, sports, or politics. When someone judges our team unfairly, we get upset. But when the same thing happens to the other side, we feel that justice has been made. For example, if a referee awards a penalty to our team, we start looking for reasons why he is wrong. But when the opponent team is penalized, we celebrate the penaltyAs Julia Galef says, Our judgment is strongly influenced, unconsciously, by which side we want to win. And this is ubiquitous. This shapes how we think about our health, our relationships, how we decide how to vote, what we consider fair or ethical.The soldier mindset is rooted in the need to defen d ourselves. The pressure to be right elevates our adrenaline we experience a fight-or-flight response.A more ne mindset is that of the scout this role is about understanding, not defending our beliefs. The scout goes out, maps the terrain, and identifies the real challenge he wants to know whats really there.The mindset you choose affects your judgment, analysis, and decision-making.The soldier mindset is rooted in emotions like aggression and tribalism. The scout mindset is rooted in curiosity its about the pleasure of learning new things, being intrigued when new facts contradict our beliefs, and not feeling weak about changing our mind.Above all, scouts are grounded their self-worth isnt tied to how right or wrong they are.A soldier mindset creates a pattern that explains accelerated escalation in all types of interactions. Economist Robert Frank calls it the winner-takes-all, loser-still-pays pattern its the reason why, even when we are in a hole, we keep digging.These infallib ility battles are fought not just in actual wars, but also in political elections, financial speculation, gambling, or even day-to-day arguments. Once we are invested, it feels harder to let go. We are willing to pay almost anything to win, but so are our opponents surrendering means admitting we are wrong.The war keeps escalating making things even worse for both contenders the casualties pile up on each side. In real wars, no one wants to feel their soldiers died in vain. In political campaigns, candidates keep pouring money by denying the possibility of losing all, everyone keeps losing more and more.No one wins an infallibility battle its better to cut our losses than paying almost anything to win an argument.Thats why a different mindset can help you prevent and de-escalate lost battlesWhat if I am wrong about this?Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong Peter McIntyreI wrote a post about the 50%-50% rule when facing a conflict, assume tha t half of the blame is yours. I usually coach this rule when facilitating a team workshop. It helps move people from blaming each other into action every side focuses on improving their fair share.Today, I want you to suggest something more extreme. The next time you are facing an argument before you start a war assume that you are the one whos absolutely wrong. Rather than trying to win an argument, see what happens when you consider that you are wrong about everything.This mindset is not just a test to your resilience you are training your mind to overcome the biases we discussed earlier.Whenever youre struggling with something, ask yourself, What if I am wrong about this? Sounds tough, right? But the truth is, you are wrong about that issue and everything else too just like me and everyone else. We all suffer from cognitive delusion.Adopting a What if I am wrong about this? is not easy, but youll immediately reap the benefits.1. A new mindset uncovers new solutionsWhen we try to win an argument, we stop paying attention our energy focuses on justifying our thoughts, not on finding the truth.When you stop trying to be right always, you broaden your perspective. As Albert Einstein said, We cannot solve a problem with the same thinking we used to create it.2. Move from defending to learningWhen you acknowledge you dont have all the answers, you open your minds you focus on understanding, not on protecting your ideas. Learning requires adopting an ignorant attitude.Like Julia Galef says, a soldier mindset is about winning a scout mindset is about wanting to know whats really there.3. Pay attention instead of doing the talkingWhen you move from being right to embracing uncertainty, you make space to ask the right questions. Instead of taking the conversation over with your arguments, you listen to multiple perspectives.Smart people lead with questions, not answers they create conversations, not arguments.4. Practice intellectual humilityOur ignorance is invisibl e to us, not to others as I wrote here. Intellectual humility means leaving the door open, even when you think you are right. You are receptive to new facts, instead of trying to protect yourself.Intellectual humility requires fighting a different battle you want to find the truth, not to defeat others.5. No one is either entirely right or wrongWhen you let go of the Im wrong, you are right attitude, you elevate the conversation. No one is always right or always wrong. Dont judge people because of their beliefs focus on the facts they present.Even those who always seem wrong can be right at some point. Dont dismiss facts or information based on the person that delivers the news. Anyone is a teacher in disguise.Perspective is everything, especially when it comes to challenging your biases. A What if Im wrong about this? mindset uncovers new solutions intellectual humility makes us hungry for real answers.Are you a soldier determined to defend your viewpoint at all costs or a scout, d riven by curiosity? Reflect on what matters to you the most. Do you wish to win the argument or to see the world as vivid as possible?You have the right to be wrong. Learning matters more than trying to win infallible battles history books are full of those already.
